Sandra was right - I had no idea who Ryan Reynolds was...
this was totally staged, but still hilarious.


It didn't even try to look real. there were several cameras and many cuts. and its from "Funny or Die", a skit comedy Web site. how did this comment even enter someone's head? its like watching Speed and smugly stating "That was fake."

please, up vote spoco2's comment.

the film makers say on the funny or die site that it is not, it's just a funny name for a sandwich. take that for what is worth.

I believe this is his channel because it has his username as iwaslikegoink: http://pop.youtube.com/willelliott

I think he was an actor in the manbabies short, and according to his myspace page he is trying to get manbabies onto the front of funny or die.

[edit] The picture on his myspace profile (http://www.myspace.com/willelliott) matches that of the one on the vimeo page (http://vimeo.com/beefandsage).

Adding more video hosts would be cool, especially since we have four hosts that are notorious region blockers:

1. NBC
2. MTV Music
3. Hulu
4. Comedy Central

I suggest we add:

1. Funny Or Die
2. Current TV (Yeah, they don't host that much video compared to the players, but they post at least as much as The Onion.)

And others? Let the membership suggest more.

<div style="text-align:center;width: 464px;">See more funny videos at Funny or Die</div>

arty, wtf, strange, surreal, funny, aging, dying, but not as tedious as I found some of the other Charlie Kaufmann films

In reply to this comment by my15minutes:
hey. lemme' know what you thought of Synecdoche.

Oh, actually I do have a suggestion. Why isn't Funny or Die on the approved hosts list? Lots of good stuff coming from there, and it's not region blocked like most of the new approved hosts seem to be.

1. Thumbnails for all the preferred video hosts. Not every video host on the planet, mind you, but the just for the 16 preferred hosts. Hosts that currently need thumbnails (as far as I know):
- Yahoo
- Dailymotion
- Google
- Myspace
- The Onion
- Video Jug
- SpikeTV (formerly iFilm)

2. New video hosts so that sub-Gold members have more choices. A few suggestions:
- Veoh
- Funny Or Die
- blip.tv
Make sure they get thumbnails too if they're brought on board.

3. Get rid of Fora.tv and V-Social as preferred hosts. No one ever uses them.

4. Add a new tab along the top row next to "Blogs" called "Other Features." Here's what I'd like to see in the "Other Features" section:
- tag cloud
- Top 15 new comments
- and other small features that members would like to see

*dead

Try: <div style="text-align:center;width: 464px;">See more Gina Gershon videos at Funny or Die</div>

I don't get why this is hosted by funny or die.

But only 53 percent of the time.

>> ^gwiz665:
Anyone can make up any statistic they need, 84% of all people know that.

*dark, *politics, *comedy

I guess it's funny AND die in this case. And the revolution WAS televised...

Ahhh, duh. Sorry, I didn't realize you haven't quite achieved enough stars to post from unapproved video hosts and funnyordie is not approved yet.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your effort.

Thanks, Lucky, I've been trying to get the Funny Or Die embed to work since this morning, but nothing seems to want to work properly. And, unfortunately, that embed you left on my profile for me to use is also a no-go. It's slightly confusing.

Hi Raigen-

Great upload with the Panda vs. Iron Man. Here's a much cleaner embed if you want to use it:



Cheers.
